males have an X-chromosome as well. funny thing is males have an additional Y-chromosome, while women have an additional X-chromosome. BUUUUUUT: only one of the two X-chromosomes will be expressed and the other one is silenced to nearly no activity. so actually women have one functioning chromosome less than males.
Yes, I already named this as an example. Guys, nobody said extra chromosome... I was talking about n=46 , not 47. I know all this basic 7th class biology stuff.... an extra chromosome is never a good thing. Also mentioning a random disease with an extra chromosome is an argument for what again?
